Roxanne Hébert-Ratté

Roxanne holds a Ph.D. in psychology, with a scientific-professional track, from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Her doctoral journey was rich and diverse. In particular, she gained nearly four years of supervised clinical experience across various settings (university clinic, hospital, school, and private practice) before completing her Ph.D. in psychology. In research, she has collaborated on various projects, primarily focused on the impacts of technology use (e.g., video games, social media), as well as on adolescents’ lived experiences and the links between certain chronic illnesses and social support. Through these experiences, Roxanne has mastered a variety of assessment tools and techniques, as well as methods for individual therapy and parental support, addressing a wide range of issues.

Roxanne currently offers individual psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults struggling with various issues such as stress and anxiety, depressive symptoms (e.g., sadness, loss of pleasure), difficulties managing emotions, relationship difficulties, and adjusting to significant life events (e.g., trauma) or new life stages (e.g., starting high school or CEGEP). Her therapeutic approach draws primarily from the three waves of cognitive-behavioral therapy, incorporating practical tools focused on relaxation and mindfulness techniques, personal values, working with automatic thoughts, exposure, and behavioral activation. She also draws on the humanistic approach, emotion-focused therapy, and schema therapy. Roxanne prioritizes a therapeutic relationship characterized by attentive, nonjudgmental listening and a welcoming attitude toward each person as a whole. Using a variety of available tools and techniques, she gently guides you toward achieving your personal goals and finding greater balance, all while remaining attentive to your needs and your progress throughout your sessions.
